Bic Pen "Drowned by Hopeless Career"

So this is what I love to do!

You know those of us who find a job that truly makes us happy are truly blessed. This is a piece for my summer independent study, it's done in bic pen and is 15x22in. I'm going to be coloring it digitally, and then finalizing it with watercolor. But I figure just incase I mess up I would document my lovely pen drawing. I'll come back to this one later to explain the process, but so far I'm pleased :)

 more progress, simple flat digitalcoloring more to get a feel for what I want my color scheme to be. I'm going to go back and clean it up later

SO! It's been about a week, and I have gone back and painted the actual pen drawing with water  color. I am for the most part very pleased with the outcome. The colors could probably be a bit flatter and less contrasting, but this was after all my first pen/watercolor painting. I found that I could control the paint

better than I expected, so hopefully my next painting will be even better!
